North London Jazz Collective

The NLJC is a community of the UK?s finest jazz musicians who?s collective output explores all things from swing, bebop, trad and manouche jazz, to more contemporary and experimental stylings. The collective's members play regularly at the UK's top venues such as Ronnie Scotts, Soho Pizza Express, 606, Vortex etc; at major festivals both in UK (eg. London Jazz Festival and Love Supreme Festival) as well as touring extensively in Europe and elsewhere. Members have received recognition such as BBC Young Jazz musician of the Year, Arts Council Grants, and other awards for performances and recordings. This special gig at the Green Note sees the collective continue their collaboration with supremely talented fellow travellers from overseas. Co-founder of the NLJC, London drummer Robbie Ellison teams up with Yur Yesli, the Montreal-based Algerian guitarist, and Leighton Harrell, a first-call bass player from New York City currently playing in Jeremy Pelt's band among others. Expect swinging grooves, pretty chords, elegant melodies, and big vibes!
